Popis

An urgent, hopeful, and unapologetically radical new book about consent, democracy, desire and the future of sexual politics from award-winning writer Laurie Penny.

This is a story about how modern masculinity is killing the world, and how feminism can save it. It's a story about sex and power and trauma and resistance and persistence.

Sex and gender are changing, and the world is changing with them. In this time of crisis, we are also witnessing a productive transformation: a revolutionary change in how we define gender, sex, consent and whose bodies matter.

This sexual revolution is a threat to the social and economic order. It undermines the existing power structures and weakens the authority of institutions from the waged workplace to the nuclear family. No wonder the far right is fighting back so hard.

Told with Laurie Penny's trademark urgency and candour, Sexual Revolution is a hand-grenade of a book: both a manifesto for social change and a story of how feminism can save us.

Review

This broad, ambitious book skilfully skewers everyday sexisms . Penny is a skilled polemicist, and their underlying argument, if not exactly original, is vital: that questions of sex and love are central to politics . A perfect summation of our cultural double standards . Penny has a knack for identifying missed connections . This is a broad, ambitious book, and Penny's writing is vivid and passionate ― New Statesman

A call to arms . . . Sexual Revolution is about shining a spotlight on the changes that are already happening, and encouraging them, despite the backlash, despite the fear ― Irish Times

This is a voice of blazing fury. These are the clear, ferocious words of a millennial, intersectional feminist . . . Penny connects up the dots of the many issues impacting on women's lives and links them through to the attitudes of a patriarchal, racist and capitalist society . . . The book contains many blistering arguments, including the reminder that what we are tackling is not just one sexual violence case but a whole culture . . . Sexual Revolution provides an analysis of how far we have yet to go

― Herald

Laurie Penny's searing critique of male dominance, violence and supremacy traces the link between everyday sexism and the far right's project of biopower. Penny's quiet but incandescent anger burns through every page, guiding with wit and erudition us towards solutions that involve a hitherto discounted possibility: that men might change -- Paul Mason

Laurie Penny's electric new book boldly announces that the feminist sexual revolution is here; we are in the midst of a 'fundamental reimagining of gender roles and sexual roles, work and love, trauma and violence, pleasure and power.' Captivating, emphatic, and deeply inspiring, Sexual Revolution lifted me greatly by envisioning the possibilities of our moment -- V (formerly Eve Ensler), author of THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES and THE APOLOGY

Brilliant; vital; revolutionary -- Kate Manne

Laurie Penny is a true gift. Their excoriation of the patriarchy and its continued harm against all humans is life-giving, and perhaps only matched by the exceptional warmth and good humour they express while making great strides to change the world -- Clementine Ford, author of FIGHT LIKE A GIRL

I can't really think of another writer who so consistently and bravely keeps thinking and talking and learning and trying to make the world better -- Caitlin Moran (praise for Laurie Penny)
